it’s been a while since i last pulled an all-nighter. but the excitement of tinkering around, and making something work that has been bugging me for a few months now is finally near! i can keep on going, but i’ve a secret date tomorrow which is another story altogether.

it’s almost 5:30am. i feel like a really big nerd right now. but it’s alright, i’ll unveil the latest shenanigan soon enough! mwaa-a-a!

it may very well be possible that the insitutions designed to protect our lives and our liberties may be the ones that ironically prevent us from doing so. with the given framework, it’s unfortunate that the requirements for change are tantamount to impossible, at least within our lifetimes. if only starting over were so easy.

it’s changed a lot from the days when i’d ride the weekends on a whim of spontaneity. mostly because i never really had anything going for me and i opted to roll along with the punches. these days i find myself banging my head on the keyboard after missing wolfmother, ben harper, and other ticket sale mornings for gigs months and months down the line. i’ve got my sights on the charlatans UK and radiohead coming up soon.

for all the years i’ve lived here in LA, i’ve got no clue what the hell i’ve been doing missing out on all teh kick ass gigs.

i used to be scared of looking forward to things, since expectations never give ’em a fair chance. but these days, i really don’t mind daydreaming since i’ve found it can only approximate a tip of the proverbial iceberg..

i’m debating about this format for my website. i’ve always wanted to revamp, but my inclination towards simple lines and functional usage prevents me from shakin’ things up. i’ve confirmed that i’m a pack-rat of sorts, and i definitely need to learn how to junk teh old to make way for teh new. i like mispelling ‘teh’. it makes me feel young and cool. wow.

anyhoots, i was cleaning out my mailbox when i came across an email from an old friend who made commented on my addictions. i think i was venting about blowing a month’s salary on a new guitar to add to the growing list children huddled in my room corner. no i didn’t buy it and yes i’m being steadfast and holding on to my cash. i should plop it down a large-cap growth fund before i listen to that damn voice in my head telling me to buy a 1959 porsche 356a coupe while i still have hair and can feign immunity from midlife crisis. not that i’m an out-of-control impulsive buyer, but i do have my moments. it’s just hard to tell when i’ll weak sauce it out.

i took cousin jeffrey to a discount camera store in hollywood and he scored a pretty sweet canon ae1 with a 50mm 1.8. snazzy!
